T
DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY TO THE FURNACE BEFORE
INSTALLING THIS KIT OR PERFORMING ANY SERVICE.
WARNING
HIS KIT MUST BE INSTALLED IN STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THESE
T
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND ANY APPLICABLE LOCAL, STATE, AND
NATIONAL CODES.
5. Insert the four plastic screw anchors into the screw holes and
mount the vent terminal base to the wall using the four 2” long
screws provided.
6. Assemble the vent terminal cap to the vent terminal base, using
four 1” long screws provided.
7. Install 3” diameter vent and air intake pipes into the back side of
the openings in the vent terminal base.
8. Seal all gaps between the pipes and wall.
9. Using RTV silicone sealant, seal the vent pipe to the vent cap.
This will allow the terminal to be disassembled later if necessary
for cleaning. DO NOT use PVC solvent cement to seal this connection.
1. Determine the best location for the vent terminal. In addition to
all applicable codes, consider the following when determining
the location:
a. The vent terminal should be located so as to minimize the
total length and number of elbows in the piping. Consult the
furnace installation instructions for the pipe lengths and number of elbows allowed.
b. T erminal should be positioned where vent vapors will not dam-
age plants, shrubs, air conditioning equipment or building materials.
c. Terminal should be located where it will not be affected by
wind gusts, snow, airborne leaves or other debris, and where
it will not allow recirculation of flue gases.
d. Terminal should be located where it will not be damaged or
exposed to foreign objects such as stones, balls, etc.
e. T erminal should be located where vent vapors are not objec-
tionable.
2. Using the vent terminal base as a template, locate the pipe holes
and the four mounting screw holes on the wall.
3. Cut two 3 7/8” diameter holes for the vent and intake pipes.
4. Drill four 3/16” diameter holes for inserting the plastic screw anchors into the wall.
NOTE: T o downsize the piping to 2” diameter, use a field-supplied
reducing coupling.
10. Operate the furnace for 15 minutes to ensure that it is working
properly and that all piping joints are sealed to prevent the escape of combustion products into the home.
1 1. For installations where two or more furnaces are to be vented
using this kit, ensure a minimum clearance of 1” between the
vent terminal caps. To prevent condensate freezing problems,
do not install multiple vent kits above one another .
